The excitement of Purim and the Jerusalem marathon is behind us, and
Pesach is still a couple of weeks away, but there are plenty of fun
things going on in Jerusalem this week. With the weather warming up, the
Holy City's social calendar is heating up as well. From a spectacular
100-dancer show, "The Pirouette's Taverna," at Beit Shmuel as part of the Jerusalem Arts Festival, to a weekend of science-themed events for adults courtesy of the Bloomfield Science Museum, to a live outdoor show featuring popular Israeli singer Rona Kenan at the Tower of David Museum, there's something for everyone.

Beit Shmuel invites you to an evening of Greek inspired ballet. Tonight's show "In the Pirouette's Taverna" boasts
